Speaking in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he will attend today the naming of one of the city's squares after the Republic of Serbia, Dacic added that full membership in the EU Serbia’s absolute foreign policy priority.

"We want to reach agreement, we want a just and lasting solution, but to have to recognize unilateral acts - never, not even at the cost of failing to join the European Union. We owe a great debt of gratitude to our friends who help us in this regard, in terms of their political support for our position, and I count Argentina among them, as one of the most important partners (of Serbia)," Dacic said, Serbian media reported.
